CV positioning • interview clarity • market strategy

⚠️ This is not a networking meetup.
⚠️ This is a facilitated working session with active participation.

## Overview

Most career meetups are broad, passive, and forgettable.
Data Blokes is designed differently.
This is a small, premium working session for people working in - or moving into - data-focused roles who want a clearer view of what’s holding their job search back and how to fix it.
In 90 minutes, we work directly on:

  • CV positioning (what gets attention vs what gets ignored)
  • Interview answers (how decision-makers actually evaluate you)
  • Job strategy (role fit, market reality, and positioning)

No hype. No motivational talk.
You leave with clear, concrete next steps.

## Who this session works best for

This meetup works well if you:

  • Are exploring or applying for data-related roles
  • Have some professional experience (any level)
  • Want practical, direct feedback
  • Are comfortable contributing to discussion

It may not be a good fit if you:

  • Want to sit back and listen
  • Are looking for a presentation or lecture
  • Prefer high-level or generic advice

This is about participation, not credentials.

## Session format (90 minutes)

1. Framing & context (10 min)
How hiring decisions are actually made - and what we’re focusing on today.
2. Rapid introductions (15 min)
Background, target roles, current blockers.
3. Working rounds (45 min)
Live CV feedback, interview answer refinement, and job-search strategy discussion.
4. Commitments (10 min)
Each person leaves with one fix and one immediate action.
5. Optional follow-ups (10 min)
Connect only if useful. No forced networking.
This is a facilitated session - not an open forum.

## Group size

Strictly limited to 8 participants.
This keeps the session focused, interactive, and useful.
When it’s full, RSVPs close.

## What to bring

  • A CV or profile you’re comfortable discussing
  • A role (or direction) you’re targeting
  • Willingness to engage
  • Openess to feedback
